Sarah's guest this week is Southbank Centre's current Artistic Director, Jude Kelly OBE. Jude has directed over 100 productions, including the Royal Shakespeare Company, the National Theatre, Chichester Festival Theatre, the English National Opera, at the Châtelet in Paris and in the West End. Among her many successes as a director, her production of Singin' in the Rain transferred twice to the Royal National Theatre and was awarded the Laurence Olivier Award for Outstanding Musical Production in 2001. She directed Sir Ian McKellen in The Seagull and The Tempest, Patrick Stewart in Othello, Dawn French in When We Are Married, and the English National Opera in The Elixir of Love and On the Town. More recently, she directed several works by Spanish flamenco guitarist Paco Peña, as well as a production of Bernstein's Mass at the Royal Festival Hall. In 2006, Jude was named No. 8 in "Theatreland's top 100 players" by The Independent newspaper, and in 2013 she was assessed as one of the 100 most powerful women in the UK by Woman's Hour on BBC Radio 4.

One of the most popular and yet controversial composers of our time, Michael Nyman exclusively in conversation with Donald Macleod.
Michael Nyman explores with Donald Macleod, his interest in music recycling. Many of Nyman's works take existing material by other composers, or previous works by Nyman himself, to create something new. One example of this is Memorial, used in the film The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover (1989), but linked to previous projects.
Nyman has also been keen to explore other cultures and their musical heritage for inspiration and potential collaborations. Nyman's second String Quartet (1988) uses rhythmic templates from the South Indian Bharata Natyam dance tradition, to create a work which links East and West, and was originally intended for solo dance performance. The programme ends with another exploration of another culture, in The Upside-Down Violin (1992).
The beginning of the 90s sees Nyman's first concerto. Where the Bee Dances (1991) is a concerto for saxophone, and recycles material composed for the film Prospero's Books, which never came to full fruition, marking the end of the Greenaway and Nyman collaboration.
The series of highlights from the Mananan International Festival and the Lincolnshire International Chamber Music Festival continues with two rarities: Tasmin Little and Martin Roscoe performing the rarely heard Violin Sonata by Belgian Romantic composer Guillaume Lekeu; and pianist Ashley Wass, violinist Matthew Trusler and cellist Thomas Carroll in a piano trio arrangement of music from Liszt's Années de Pèlerinage.

Live at Southbank Centre: Sean Rafferty with a lively mix of music and chat including a live performance in our special Southbank pop-up studio from klezmer band She'koyokh.
She'Koyokh (a Yiddish expression meaning "nice one!") formed in 2001 playing klezmer music but soon became fascinated by Gypsy music and the folk music of the Balkans, travelling to Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey and Greece to study with master musicians. Hailed by Songlines magazine as 'Britain's best klezmer and Balkan music band', this week they launch their new album, 'Wild Goats and Unmarried Women'.

Poulenc, Berlioz and Saint-Saëns: An Organ Celebration at Southbank Centre's Pull Out All The Stops festival.
Interval: William McVicker and guests discuss the restoration of the Royal Festival Hall organ
It has taken eight years to refurbish the grand organ of Royal Festival Hall, and the instrument resounds anew in this concert of French music including two of the most popular pieces for organ and orchestra.
Poulenc's Organ Concerto is a gregarious romp that spins off the music of the greatest organist who ever lived, Johann Sebastian Bach. The Organ Symphony by Saint-Saëns is justly famous for its awe-inspiring majesty and brilliance, worlds apart from the delicate, luminous nocturnal songs by Berlioz that separate the two.

A turtle in the elevator, a television on the cooker - there was plenty to disconcert the critic Martin Gayford when he paid a visit to the artist Robert Rauschenberg in his New York loft.
Rauschenberg was a 20th century master - an artist whose paintings, 'combines' and graphic work anticipated pop art and many other genres, years before they became universally fashionable.
Gayford discovers a man wedded to the idea of surprise and to trying to reflect the the deluge of imagery which characterises our world.

THU 12:00 Composer of the Week (b01kkmhx)
Michael Nyman (1944-present)
Nyman and The Piano
One of the most popular and yet controversial composers of our time, Michael Nyman exclusively in conversation with Donald Macleod.
In 1992, Michael Nyman's score for the film The Piano, was a huge success. The soundtrack went on to sell over 3 million copies, and won Nyman an Ivor Novello Award. Despite this great achievement, Nyman has felt that this has in some way colored people's perception of him when composing away from film. Further film successes have followed, including the soundtrack to the science fiction film, Gattaca (1997).
The 90s have seen for Nyman a number of significant works away from film, including concertos for harpsichord, saxophone and cello, and also a concerto for Trombone and Orchestra (1995). This piece is a dramatic work, and unlike many of Nyman's scores, is based entirely on original material.
Nyman has previously said when talking about his film music, that visual materials have never inspired him to compose. Exclusively in interview with Donald Macleod, Nyman discusses his process for writing music for another visual medium, opera, specifically his work Facing Goya (2000).

Finish the Bottle
Patrick Heron
Martin Gayford spent a week watching the artist Patrick Heron preparing breakfast in the kitchen of his house - Eagle's Nest - overlooking the Cornish coast.
Heron was a celebrated member of the St Ives School and he relished living amid the boulder-strewn fields in the specially luminous light of Cornwall.
During a week of conversations Gayford begins to realise the depth of Heron's rootedness in the Cornish landscape and, for all the apparently militant modernism of the paintings - how the work was directly informed by the beauty of the place.

FRI 12:00 Composer of the Week (b01kkmhz)
Michael Nyman (1944-present)
Nyman: Composer, Photographer and Filmmaker
One of the most popular and yet controversial composers of our time, Michael Nyman exclusively in conversation with Donald Macleod.
In recent years, Michael Nyman has had to juggle a very busy schedule performing in, and directing the Michael Nyman Band, composing, and other recent activities as both a photographer and filmmaker. Nyman in exclusive interview with Donald Macleod, discusses his recent career.
Collaboration remains an important part of Nyman's career as a composer. This has included working with the vocalist and song writer David McAlmont, recycling a number of older works by Nyman, and turning them into new songs. These works, such as 'Secrets, Accusations and Charges', or 'City of Turin', focus upon contemporary issues, sometimes sensitive, and sometimes poignant.
The final work, Three ways of describing rain (2000), is another example of Nyman collaborating across cultures. East meets West, and Nyman has described this as a "coming together" with Indian classical music cultures. It is a re-release, hot off the press, and Nyman explores this work with Donald Macleod.

Live at Southbank Centre: London Philharmonic - Mendelssohn, Mahler
Live from the Royal Festival Hall
Presented by Sara Mohr-Pietsch
Nézet-Séguin conducts the LPO in Mendelssohn's First Piano Concerto (with Nicholas Angelich) and Mahler's Ninth Symphony.
Felix Mendelssohn: Piano Concerto No.1 in G minor, Op.25
8.10: Interval
Gustav Mahler: Symphony No.9
In 1907, ill and exhausted, Mahler faced spiritual and physical annihilation. He countered it by throwing himself into life with renewed passion. Nevertheless, his last completed symphony, the Ninth, would be a desperate farewell. In the words of his biographer Deryck Cooke, it represented 'a 'naked encounter with the arch-enemy himself, who invades the music, turning everything to dust and ashes'. That arch-enemy was death. Four movements, a new orchestral language and an emboldened emotional extremism: the ultimate Mahler symphony.

FRI 22:45 The Essay (b03yqt36)
Finish the Bottle
Euan Uglow
What did the critic Martin Gayford make of an artist who confessed not to be able to finish a picture? One whose sitters were obliged to commit to several years of posing? Of a painter struggling to bend the naked body of a girl into the shape of the pyramids of Giza?
Euan Uglow was an uncompromising and difficult artist.
Martin recalls touring the painter's rambling London House-cum-studio on a boozy evening and learning more about the artist for whom precision and perfection were the driving forces.
FRI 23:00 World on 3 (b03yqt4k)
Live at Southbank Centre: Fay Hield and the Hurricane Party, Commonwealth Connections 8
Live at Southbank Centre: Commonwealth Connections 8 plus a session with Fay Hield and The Hurricane Party, presented by Lopa Kothari.
'Commonwealth Connections' is a BBC Radio 3 landmark 26-part weekly series leading up to the Commonwealth Games in July, featuring music from each of the 53 member states, reflecting the range of music and culture across the whole organisation.
Music feature from St Lucia
St Lucia's leading traditional folk band Man May La Kay keep alive the traditional Kwadril music. Drawn originally from the French courtly Quadrille, this is a curious mix of African and European dance styles introduced by the European plantation owners of an earlier era. Once a reminder of their colonial past, the Kwadril has become a national symbol of the people of St Lucia and this joyful music is the definitive Caribbean ceilidh.
Heritage Track from Brunei:
The Loneliness of the Short Distance Runner: 400m sprinter Maziah Mahusin was the only female athlete representing her country at the London Olympics 2012; carrying the Bruneian flag at the Opening Ceremony is one of her proudest moments. Since then she has inspired many young girls to run; these days they turn up in crowds at her training sessions to run alongside her. Maziah chooses a track that reminds her of playing with her siblings as a child, Sebarkan ke Seantero dunia by Putri Norizah. She reflects on how far she's come in her career- and on what it's going to take to live up to the responsibility she now feels to keep training hard and make Bruneians yet more proud of her.
Session with Fay Hield and The Hurricane Party:
By day an ethnomusicologist, by night one of England's most original folksingers, Fay Hield performs here with some of the leading luminaries of English folk, including Jon Boden, Sam Sweeney, Rob Habron and Andy Cutting
